Regret Came Too Late

Chapter 139

On the other hand, Grace and Selene had already returned to their place.

Selene casually flipped her hair, clearly pleased with the events of the evening.

She stretched out a hand in front of Grace. "I like your personality. How about we go shopping together sometime?"

Since waking up, Grace hadn't made any new acquaintances besides her friend, Joanne. She shrugged off any reservations and shook Selene's hand casually.

"Sure."

Selene then waved her off. "Alright. I'll head inside, then."

The two went their separate ways.

The following day, while she was immersed in her tasks, she was told someone was downstairs asking for her.

When she went down, she saw Carmen and Liam waiting for her.

Liam was leaning against a nearby pillar with his arms crossed, avoiding eye contact with Grace. However, Carmen stormed up to her and immediately launched into a tirade.

"Why did you block everyone's numbers? You didn't even come home last night! We've been trying to find you everywhere! Alice had another incident! She was kidnapped! She's traumatized, and everyone's still talking about that audio recording.

"Grace, I won't say much more, but you need to admit that you're the one who doctored that recording."

Grace slowly sat down on the couch in the lobby. "So, you came to see me just for this?"
